Rain soaks our clothes, leaves us breathless and cleansed.
The lights bounce and shimmer; a thousand lights on us.
Coppery and acidic, but it doesn’t overpower the taste of you.
Drunken girls laugh into the night like gulls in the morning.

Ignore the looks; kiss me, put your lips on mine.
Smear my pink lipstick, make your pretty red stick.
Fist my sweater and pull my heart out; keep it with yours.
Tug the strands of my hair, pull me closer; don’t let the divider in.

It’s cold in the rain, so mingle our breaths
and create hot, steamy fog to keep us warm.
The lights are on us, but **** it; let’s give ’em a show.
They want the rain to drown us; let’s slow dance.

Hold my waist, reel me in like a love song.
Sip my lips like cheap beer, savour me like wine.
Bruise me like a peach; kiss it better.
Feel the wind sting our cheeks; try to blow out our flame.

Whispering in my ear, he’s looking, isn’t he?
Kissing the frown from your lips, yes, he is. Who cares?
Let the hateful ******* sneer and scorn.
I’ll still love my lover in this storm.
sitting on the roof
savoring this gray night
inhaling the euphoria of my own existence
my season of requiem came to an end
for i was convinced my dead weight heart won’t be able to perceive love again
but the mirror now tells me otherwise
at last! my heart is at peace

your scent makes me feel safe
and your warm brown eyes comforts me
the bear hugs from you became my favorite thing
and your smile gets me through the day
you don’t need your stethoscope to get me cured
i’ve already stitched what my past has broke
your presence alone is enough for me
i see colors again to translate it to poetry
i’m glad i found you in the after rain
You say I'm insane for
Driving my brand new cabrio
With its roof wide open
In the pouring rain
But have you ever tried?
Who needs that new car smell anyway...?

I cry
Recently quite a lot
Some tears fall with no why
Most are no longer fought
Like rain from the sky
Weather wanted or not
Emotions flood the eye
The mind an impossible knot
Man card revoked, no reapply
I push through all for naught
Every try
A long shot...
But it's all I got

warm deluge has passed          
concrete smells steam                
wading the dystopic streets      
my child squeals                        
(cooled rain dripped from a tree)

swells and streams

And like the rain clouds
Dewy drops fall from thy face
Puddling my heart

i open my mouth
to taste the rain
and pretend that is you
i am not cold, i am not wet
i am covered in you
If the Sun doesn't Shine
If the Rain doesn't Pour
If the Birds don't Sing
And the Eagle doesn't Soar

Then why am I still waiting!!

FOREvermore!!!

Dancing in the rain
Feels good to our tattered souls
Let the rain pour down
